What kind of stomach problems would lead to this much pain?

What kind of stomach problems would lead to this much pain?I had gastric bypass surgery in 12/04. I have had no complications of any kind.

In the last 2 weeks, however, something bad is happening. I thought at first that I was becoming lactose intolerant and the lattes I drink each morning were becoming a problem. I gave them up 2 weeks ago. Not that.

I have VERY painful gas and a tremendous amount of bubbling in my stomach all day long which leads to back pain, headaches and diarrhea. I have tried many OTC remedies for both stomach upset and gas and nothing is working.

I am in the middle of a probationary period at a new job, my health benefits will not come into play for another 3 wks. A doctor's visit is out of the question.

Does anyone out there know what this might be? I have read on some GB forums of some TERRIBLE issues people have had post-surgery, like small tears in the new stomach and the like. But in every case I read about, that came to the fore much earlier than this. Anyone have any informed ideas about this?

Obviously you should be seeing a DOCTOR.

But an acid reducer should help your stomach calm down some.

Do not take in any other chemicals or medications into your stomach. They could be causing the pain, especially if you are not eating much. Keep a little food in your stomach at all times. The bile could be causing problems.

I hope this helps.

A tear in the stomach is probably one of the answers. It could also be Stomach Ulcers coming from the tears.

When A stomach tears sometimes the acid in your stomach will leak out or cause stomach ulcers.

Most the time they lead to major pains. Even if you can't see a doctor. Call one or visit an open clinic during your lunch break. It could mean your life. You never know.

Read this it may help you find your answer

I had gastric bypass surgery in April 2005. I started out at 268, now I'm 180 and holding. These links will help you in many ways to make a decision if this is for you or not. I vote yes, because it made such a difference in my life. I was taking 8 pills a day, and after my surgery, I lost my diabetes. The way they do the surgery, takes your diabetes away. I no longer have to take glucophage, and I no longer have high Cholesterol or high blood pressure. I'm down to 2 pills a day. I went from a size 26-28 to a 16-18.

I really researched my surgeon, and I made a wise choice. Always get a surgeon that has done at least 200 of these surgeries. Get someone with a lot of experience, and you will do well.
Here's all about my surgeon…

You just can't find a better surgeon than him! He's probably done at least 500 of the surgeries, so far. I did so well after my surgery, I thank him every time I see him.
I made it to 175! It's been almost 2 years since my surgery. I haven't had any complications at all with my surgery! My health has been very good, and I've lost the weight nice and slow, so my body doesn't look that much out of shape. I've been faithfully taking my vitamins, and my blood work came back excellent! I still think very highly of Dr. Pilkington, and would recommend to anyone thinking of this surgery, to have Dr. Pilkington as his or her surgeon. I'm walking proof, that he is an excellent doctor. I just spoke to another patient of his who told me she had a very good experience with him, and she is in excellent health, as well. He is a very caring doctor. I live in Florida in the winter. I see alot of folks down there because of my job, and I see people from all over the USA and overseas. Since my surgery, I've talked to lots of others that have had the surgery in Florida, and some of them didn't do as well, and I tend to think it's because their doctors weren't as competent as mine. I feel that part of how you do, is because of your general health and attitude. The other major part is how good your doctor is.
Here's a website that tells what to look for in a surgeon;

Vitamins I take… you have to be very faithful about taking them after surgery, because you can become very sick if you don't. There were recommended by my surgeon and nutritionist.
